Some local activists found this stuff in their drinking water and
found out it was a carcinogen. Typically, the Clinton EPA saw
a public relations hit coming and decided to get out in front of it by
phasing it out.

If it is dangerous to drinking water it should be
banned IMMEDIATELY from gasoline, not phased out.
